Student Spotlight
Brandon Merritt
Third Grade
Fort Meigs Elementary School
“Brandon Merritt truly exemplifies the meaning behind the Jacket Way,” shared Third Grade Teacher Jenny Rogers. “For example when we are playing a math game, Brandon is always the first person to jump up and have a student who doesn't have a group join his group. When playing out at recess, Brandon includes all students no matter what their abilities are. Brandon is a very humble and kind-hearted student. Brandon is such a wonderful example of the Jacket Way that he is a peer role model for students in his class. I have been so blessed to have Brandon Merritt in my classroom this year.”
“Brandon is just a fantastic young man!” shared Marjoe Cooper, Principal, Fort Meigs Elementary School. “He is always looking to ensure that all of his classmates are appreciated and supported on a daily basis. Brandon is friendly, caring and most certainly a role model for not only his classmates but also our young people, in general. Brandon is what we want our young Yellow Jackets to be in that he is always respectful, responsible and ready at Fort Meigs Elementary School! He absolutely personifies what the Jacket Way means!”
We are happy to have you at Fort Meigs, Brandon!
